The first birth control clinic in El Paso, Texas, opened in 1937. Since then, Mexican-origin women living in El Paso and Ciudad Juarez have confronted various interest groups determined to control their reproductive lives. In this book, Murillo reveals how Mexican-origin women on both sides of the border fought to reclaim autonomy and care.
